Human Male Model Revealed in Artcraft

Blizzard

Welcome to another Artcraft! I’m Chris Robinson, art director on WoW, and today we’re keeping it short and sweet with a reveal of the updated male Human model. As with the previous model redesigns, our goal here was to honor the silhouette and style of the original, while increasing fidelity and fixing some of the big issues we’d identified. The male Human has long been a source of criticism from some of you for his odd proportions and face geometry. We’ve taken great care to ensure we’re not changing so much that he looks completely unlike anything you’d expect, while also correcting some of the more glaring problems. We hope you enjoy the results!

On a slightly separate topic: I wanted to give you a quick heads up that we’re expecting some in-progress models to be hitting the Warlords of Draenor alpha test soon. While these will give you an early look at some of the models, please be aware that they aren’t finished yet. We’ll be presenting final high-quality model captures in future Artcrafts, so stay tuned!

I am SO GLAD I'm not the only one who noticed that! It was like... the first thing I saw. O____O

It wasn't the first, but now its the ONLY thing I can see @.@

I can't stop staring at that one stretchy nipple.

This ^ My eyes immediately went there and wouldn't leave. At least humans will be given a shirt right from the start. Hope no armor is added that will expose the human male chest for all to see. That would be distracting during a raid, but at least an excuse would be given for poor raid awareness.

When I saw this, I busted out laughing, and knew I HAD to read the comments.

Apparently i'm the only one who can't stop staring at the nipples.

Holy pepperonis. CANNOT UNSEE.

SWEET MOTHER OF GOD.

Someone put a shirt on that guy before he pokes someone's eye out with those things.
